It's so nice to see you both much happier and beginning to enjoy life again

[@lorrainehinchliffe5371]

You know you could start a history tour business in a heart beat. Take tourists on day tours of the area. You’re knowledgeable and well spoken. Do it a couple days a week and I bet you’d have a side business that helps with your renovation costs.

My Granda’s medals are on display in Fort George, he was in the Seaforth & Cameron Highlanders. My Granny and Granda had a bed and breakfast right on the side of the Nairn links. I used to spend my Summer holidays there, where my cousins, who lived and still live in Nairn, and I spent most of our time on the beach. I remember walking back up to my Aunties house in bare feet and got my feet burned from the hot pavement.

My ancestors were Jacobites in Scotland .. they fled to America early where they continue to fight for independence . They succeeded and we are all still here .. free .. in that spirit . Beautiful video ! Thank you 🙏

[@gloriak491]

Loved this to night. I am a fan of history and antiques. Fell in love with the Victorian epergne. You two are great at what you do. Thank you.

[@sometea4741]

My favorite source for Scottish history with Kate's wisdom and endearing cadence. Excellent! The taste in furniture well considered and useful. Thank you both for sharing.

[@suebailey326]

Hi Katie and Scott. Love your new intro. I'm a Canadian living in Norfolk of Scots decent. I'm a Christie born into the Walker family linked to the MacLeods thru marriage. We came from the Ardrossan Ayr and Irvine areas from what I understand. I have always wished I lived in Scotland, having visited many times. My great Uncle played the bass drum in the Black Watch band in Montreal many years ago, and to this day a pipe band is guaranteed to bring a tear to my eye and a lump to the throat. Bless you both. And you are right Scott. Jack would have known what that clamp was for. Xxxxxxx

[@hanneliewiese3477]

Thank you for the bit of history of the Jacobites and Fort George ❤

[@JulieBadgers1]

iWonderful new intro ❤thank you for the stunning scenery and history and for taking us on the journey with you x

[@evelyncook3156]

BTW, I watched it live but forgot to open the laptop as well so I could chat. Note to self: do better next time!

The old gypsy caravan would be really cool converted into a cute coffee stand.

[@terrig4750]

Love the new intro and the videos. I have watched you from the beginning and enjoyed the Island but the Highlands are so much better, thanks for sharing the beautiful countryside and history with us. I'm looking forward to see the cottage renovation and the setting up of your homestead.

[@lindagage7315]

Good video, and your editing is really good now! Well done

[@fishwitchery]

My father was born in barracks at Fort George in 1923, his father and grandfather were both Seaforth Highlanders. I look forward to your next visit there. My father upset my grandfather by choosing to join the navy!

[@clarebailey9803]

I just here the crunching when you walk

[@Sag3w0man]

The waiting is excruciating! I'm in the chatroom all by myself again. I'll put the kettle on, shall I? lol

[@irenefitzpatrick6480]

When we camped at Rosemarkie on the Black Isle, we could see Fort George across the water. We visited there and also camped at Nairn when the children were still holidaying with us. Your video brought back many happy memories. Thank you!! 💖❤️

[@megmills4798]

Hello watching rerun so happy to see you❤😊❤😊

[@Angilena13]

Thank you for a lovely episode ❤

[@CarolPark-o4c]

Enjoyed this on Ft. George. My husband's father was in the Seaforth Highlanders and I have his ring from his unit.

[@cherieevoy1245]

I'm a Canadian and we have Seaforth Highlanders of Canada here in Vancouver British Columbia. Est. In 1910 by local members of the Scottish community. I'm very proud to be of Scottish decent. My family of the surname Forrest arrived in Canada around 1850.

[@neilthompson9270]

I’m guessing that the hut on wheels may well have been a shepherds hut. There used to be one in my back garden in my last rented house. The local chimney sweep knew the history of it. It belonged to his late elderly Aunt, who farmed further up the road from my former house. It was bought by the previous tenant of my house, (3x back) when the farm was ‘rouped oot.’ It was promptly pulled down to my house by tractor and set in place with the garden. The chimney sweep shared that it was taken up into the hill fields by horse and used by the shepherd to stay in and tend the sheep when it was lambing season. The wheels had been long removed and the rims were sunk in various places within the garden to create borders. 😁

[@kikim2749]

I remember Fort George to be very stark, but the museum was interesting. Enjoy!

[@dotmac6480]

Spent many a summer holiday in Nairn playing down on the beach.

[@glenysperry3421]

Thanks for anouther lovely informative video.

[@megmills4798]

Hello can not wait to see you both will watch rerun😊😊

[@ChristineJarrell-o6b]

Hello from Maine, I am looking forward to your new journey.

[@shehazi695]

I feel like I’ve just had a little jaunt, thank you 😊

[@leecollins3592]

oooo Nairn is my fave place on earth we used to have caravans there back when it was called East Beach Caravan Park from the age of 10 to 65, and many magical holidays nairn is a fantastic base camp to see the highlands

[@debrastevenson591]

Hi Katie, the brown fur coat at the Antique shop really suited you. If not expensive you should buy it. 😊

[@stellalaurie4841]

@@debrastevenson591 I agree!!!

[@sometea4741]

I thought the men's hat for Scott was a good fit also.

[@jennytubman]

I love your channel, my grandfather came from Scotland to Australia just after WW1. I hate flying but if I get the chance I just might gather my wits and visit Scotland one day bc of your videos.

[@alisonellis5363]

Fort George was immense, like something out of ancient Egypt!

[@williamfrasermilne]

Enjoying your channel. Good too see what your up too looks like you have been busy shopping. Other place you might want to visit is waste busters at Forres They have some decent stuff. They had two writers desks today good too see you visiting my hometown sunny Nairn.

[@ameliagfawkes512]

Wild swimming - apparently after your heart stops you don't feel the cold ....

[@kimcool6327]

Love this video.❤❤❤

[@geraldinemoreno1486]

Great video, beautiful scenery and well shot. I was wondering if the clamp in the antique shop might be used for book binding? Love the drawers, not so keen on the desk, I think after a while you will wish it was a bit wider in the centre at least you can always resell it and buy another one if you want to. Looking forward to when you can access the cottage.

[@larhumba4233]

Wow, it is like the sea, not a Loch, those folk are very brave swimming in it! 🥶❄️ The Army Regiment at Fort George now would probably be the Royal Regiment of Scotland, formed in 2006 and an amalgamation of several Lowland & Highland Scottish Regiments, the Black Watch and Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders amongst them. The devastatingly handsome King's Equerry who became famous for being at the King's side during the Accession and Coronation, wearing his Ceremonial Uniform of tartan kilt is from the Royal Regiment of Scotland 5th Battalion Balaklava Company, formerly the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, who the Late Queen Elizabeth was Patron of from the age of 21. The Equerry was promoted to an Aide mostly now behind the scenes, but accompanying the Royal Family on Christmas Day at Sandringham walking to Church, and directing the security operation. His name is Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Thompson, known as Jonny.💙

[@lieuwina]

A beautiful intro and enjoyed your trip to Fort George and look forward to your next visit there. Loved the antiques. Was wondering if you got your road sorted out to Hill Croft house? I do hope it does get sorted out soon. A beautiful video Katie and Scott. Katie I love your hat.

[@lizmarshman5743]

KATIE very interesting about Fort George, my grandfather also was in the sea forth highlanders serving in the 1st world war. He died in 1928 from effects of gas.

Do go back, it is really worth it. My father was in the Seaforth Highlanders, not an officer though, just a lowly Lance Corporal, but stationed at Fort George.

You’d be right in calling it ‘Nairnia’ - it’s where Tilda Swinton lives the actor from The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe.

[@marksargent2440]

A love intro and a nice look at Scotland even in the snow and the Fort looked amazing Scott looked like he was in his element as for wanting to get a drone up in the air to see it from above it would have been nice. but we wouldn't want Scott locked up for flying it in an area he shouldn't fly in as for the drone shots over the sea and landscapes thay look stunning and Katie's really good at the voice overs regarding the history of places in Scotland all very intresting

[@janwilletts1986]

I’ve got one of those chests of drawers, same style and handles, a bit bigger maybe, but made of elm. Painted bright yellow when I bought it for £5-00 a good few years ago. They don’t make furniture like that any more, looks better without the paint!

[@claremaidofthewave251]

Crunch ❄️

My grandmother lived about 10 minutes south of Alderne in the early 1900s.

[@ettakovalsky6551]

I am of Scottish ancestry. My Great great grandfather was born in Kelso in 1791. However, when I trace the family name, they are actually from northern Scotland and even likely Orkney. Makes me wonder if they were part of the Clearances.
